Aston Martin introduces a true thoroughbred that marks the return of two historic illustrious names. With DBS, Aston Martin is reviving an iconic nameplate that first appeared on in 1967. While Touring’s famous mark - Superleggera, will once again adorn the bonnet of an Aston Martin sportscar. A collaboration that originally paved the way to the DB4, 5 and 6 Mark 1, the DBS Superleggera pays homage to the historic super lightweight construction technology of the famous Italian coachbuilder.

The DBS Superleggera is made using immaculately sculpted carbon fibre body panels this latest model is blessed with muscular, highly individual styling matched by epic performance courtesy of Aston Martin’s 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, tuned to produce tremendous power and immense torque extraordinary in-gear performance. As it replaces the esteemed Vanquish S. That’s a tought act to follow and some serious name to live up to. With 725PS, 900Nm of torque, a top speed of 340kmph and blistering acceleration that dispatches 0-100kmph in just 3.4 seconds and 0-160mph in 6.4 seconds, the DBS Superleggera is a car dedicated to delivering an unforgettable driving experience and class-leading in-gear acceleration. With an F1-inspired double diffuser, DBS Superleggera generates 180kg of downforce, the highest figure ever for a series production Aston Martin. This significant increase comes with no additional drag penalty.

The heart of DBS Superleggera is Aston Martin’s 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine.  Set low and and as far back in the chassis as possible to optimise the centre-of-gravity and weight distribution, this high-performance engine develops 725PS at 6500rpm and 900Nm from 1800-5000rpm. All this prodigious power and torque is given to the rear wheels via a new rear-mounted ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. The chassis is an evolution of the latest generation lightweight bonded aluminium structure first seen on the DB11. Both the powertrain and chassis have a choice of three dynamic modes – GT, Sport and Sport Plus – which can be selected by the driver to intensify or relax DBS Superleggera’s responses according to the needs of the driver. The car combines the responses of a supercar with the refinement of a GT.

The DBS Superleggera features a high level of craftsmanship with extensive scope for personalisation via a generous choice of options. Supple, aromatic leather and Alcantara upholstery comes as standard, as do the Sports Plus performance seats and steering wheel. There is a choice of two alloy wheel designs: the standard ‘Y’ Spoke Forged Wheel and the Lightweight Twin Spoke Forged wheel. Both are 21” in diameter and fitted with Pirelli tyres developed specifically for DBS Superleggera. There is also a choice of striking Designer Specifications, with specially chosen colour and trim combinations selected by the Aston Martin Design Team to accentuate certain aspects of DBS Superleggera’s character.
 
Handsome beyond measure, its lightweight carbon composite and aluminium body is sculpted into a shape with tremendous presence and charisma. Thanks to the remarkable torque available from its twin-turbo V12, DBS Superleggera also packs a breath-taking punch, yet its dynamics have been carefully honed to engage drivers of all ability levels. Immaculately styled, obsessively engineered and outrageously potent, the new DBS Superleggera is every inch the Aston Martin flagship
